The Mascara Hall of Fame

The mascara that started the super-sized brush trend, DiorShow is, and forever will be, the gold standard when it comes to lash volume. Originally created for makeup artists to use on models at fashion shows, one swipe of that magic brush will leave lashes looking thick, full and runway-ready.

This new lash-lengthener from L'Oral features everything you could possibly want in a mascara and then some. A collagen-infused formula provides volume and a flake-free, smudge-proof finish, while the lash-separating brush guarantees that every last lash gets amplified. An ingenious wiper system means the right amount of mascara makes it to your brush, so you can kiss spider lashes goodbye!

Take your fringe to new heights with this lash-growing duo! When applied along the lashline, the peptide-infused treatment promises to enhance lash thickness, length and density, while the lush mascara contains an algae-derived extract that promotes lash growth. Use the mascara in the morning and the treatment at night to pack a powerful one, two punch against puny lashes.

Pretty much everything these days is customized, from your morning coffee to your sweet new kicks, so why not your lashes? This innovative mascara from Revlon features an adjustable brush that, with the twist of a dial, rotates the bristles to create a totally different lash look. Choose the one that suits you best: Long and defined or long and dramatic.
